Title: TIGHT

Author: Alessandra Torre

Genre: Erotic Romance

Cover Design: Judi Perkins

Photography Credit: Maksim Gorbunov

Release Date: Feb. 7th 2015

I was happy in my small town. In my life as a single thirty-two year old woman. I had a good job, wonderful friends, my independence.I also hadn’t got laid in three years. Hadn’t been on a date in two. Had stopped counting calories and putting on makeup… a while ago.

Then Brett Jacobs waltzed in. Caressed my thigh, dug rough fingers into my hair, lowered his soft mouth to my skin, took sexual control of my mind and stirred it all around with what he packed in his pants. He dumped my quiet life upside down and crawled into a place in my heart I thought was dead.

The issue is his secret. The issue is her. The issue is that I don’t even know she exists, and he thinks she’s dead.

DGR’s January Reads Roundup & #GIVEAWAY

February 6, 2015 by Lana · 1 Comment

I know, I know, I’m super late with my post. I suck. I totally and completely suck. I sorry! I managed to completely over-estimate my reading capacity once again and take on way more than I can chew. So I’ve been super frazzled trying to get to all my ARC commitments and review in time that I barely had time to put this post together on a timely basis…like you know…at the beginning of this week! Le sigh. But better late then never, right? I mentioned on my Facebook page this week as I was composing my January favorites (as I do for every month) that since I didn’t really have too many mind blowing five star reads, this month instead of giving you guys my favorites, I’m just going to do a roundup for all the books I read. So here they are in no particular order… Some were amazing, some were great, some not so much but a good month nonetheless

If you follow me on Facebook or Goodreads then you may have noticed I have been completely obsessed with the Blood & Roses series.

A Case For The Negative Review

February 5, 2015 by Lana · 5 Comments

I have a question; when did writing negative reviews become a stigma in the book world? Why is it that no matter where I look on social media lately someone is complaining about something and someone not writing a “proper” review. When did it become equivalent to school children on a playground bickering about stupid shit that wouldn’t even make anyone’s radar until it’s posted and bitched about on social media? Why is it that professional reviewers and bloggers are being lumped in with the few rotten apples that apparently seem to be only on Goodreads? When did it become necessary to publicly shame people in posts or comments simply because you don’t agree with them?

Notice that I’m not specifically pointing at anyone here? Well there’s a reason for that, because it’s not just limited to authors and reviewers lately. Everyone seems to be jumping on the judgy bandwagon and finding it necessary criticize and/or to “educate” (often rudely) on how someone else should be doing something (writing reviews, writing books, pricing, selling, buying, reading, you name it).… Read more

But they keep crossing paths, and when Charlie offers to help her put in new flooring at the studio one night, things go from hammering nails to hammering each other in a hurry.

Cover Reveal & Excerpt: ★Tempting BAD★ by @authormrobinson

February 5, 2015 by Lana · Leave a Comment

Tempting BAD

Author: M. Robinson

Release Date: TBA

Brooke:I’ve come from a privileged life and an even more privileged upbringing. My parents taught me right from wrong and everything in between… except I wanted the gray area. I wanted to live life on the edge with the possibility of falling over. I didn’t care about the consequences because I had no heart…

I left that on the floor of my parent’s bedroom door, shattered.

And never went back to pick up the pieces.

Devon:

Family first.

I learned the meaning of the word hate.

I learned that life is a battlefield and I stood frontline.

I learned that praying doesn’t work and God doesn’t listen.

And I learned how to be a man…

All at the receiving end of my father’s fists, my mother’s tears, and my sisters screams.

You can’t run away from your past…

It will always find you, especially when you’re asleep.

Excerpt Reveal: ★MANWHORE★ by @authorkatyevans

February 4, 2015 by Lana · Leave a Comment

MANWHORE by Katy Evans

I look very different than the girl Saint met in his office. But I don’t feel any different. My nerves are frayed to the edges as I give my name to a bouncer at the entrance and I’m allowed into the club, every part of me snug and tight in my dress as my black heels hit the floor.

Whereas M4 was all museum-like, the Ice Box is pure dark decadence. Ice sculptures sit on pedestals around the room. Cages with body-painted dancers hang from the ceiling. A bar with white and blue lights stretches from one wall to another.

Strobe lights flash across the space as I get jostled by the crowd. The bass thumps as the song “Waves” by Mr. Probz plays for the dancing crowd. Drinks are flowing on shiny silver trays, and the drinks are so adorned—by fruits, olives, salt glitter or colorful liquid swirls—they’re like artworks.… Read more

“You think you use your brain when you’re having sex?”

Rebel’s pen freezes on the paper. He turns, then, towering over me, my face level with his belt buckle. It’s as though I can literally feel the heat rolling off his body. He’s intimidating and overwhelming, his presence a powerful force to be reckoned with.

Cover Reveal & Excerpt: ★Take★ by @nashodarose

February 4, 2015 by Lana · Leave a Comment

Book Title: Take (Scars of The Wraiths)

Author: Nashoda Rose

Genre: Paranormal Romance

Release Date: Feb. 24, 2015

Hosted by: Book Enthusiast Promotions

MAX

Feelings are a luxury I can’t afford. Hidden behind a shield of quiet placidity, I keep my secret safe from those who’d use it against me. Until him—the tatted up, self-centered Scar assassin hired to protect me.

He takes pleasure in tormenting me, chipping away at my defenses as if I’m a toy to be played with. I hate that he continuously reminds me that I’m nothing more than a job. I hate that my body responds to his touch. I hate him.

JASPER

I’m not a good guy and I don’t pretend to be. Condemn me if you want, I don’t give a fuck. You’re nothing to me. No one is … except her—Max. She’s my target. And I was hired to do a hell of a lot more than protect her … I was hired to kill her.
